Morning landing at Deception Island: we entered through a tiny break in the crater rim Neptune's Bellows, avoiding an infamous submerged "can-opener" rock in the middle of the opening. Over breakfast, we crossed the 7-mile crater to set anchor at Telefon Bay. After breakfast, we hiked all the way up to the rim of a recent ash cone. This area is still very active, with eruptions as recent as 1999. We had sun the whole time, which the expedition staff had never before seen.
